'We'll beat this TOGETHER'

KING CHARLES MAKES AN EMOTIONAL PROMISE TO HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW DURING THEIR HOSPITAL STAY

If anyone had told King Charles when he acceded the throne that, not only he but also the Princess of Wales would be facing cancer together within the first year of his reign, he wouldn’t have believed it.

But that is the stark reality faced by the House of Windsor’s two star players.

Thankfully, amid the darkness, there is one silver lining for Charles and Kate. They have become even closer since their double diagnosis.

“Cancer can be a very isolating and frightening experience, so Catherine and Charles are grateful to have each other,” reveals a royal insider. “Charles has always held Catherine in huge regard as his daughterin-law, and now they have quickly become close friends and confidants.

“The King understands her pain in a way that even Prince William can’t.”
